OTG - The Ocean Technology Group

This is the Ocean Technology Group of the University of Sydney, NSW, Australia. Sydney University, Australia's oldest university, is located near the city centre and close to beautiful surfing and swimming beaches. It has one of the largest libraries in the southern hemisphere (over 4.5 million items).

The Ocean Technology Group carries out research into aspects of ocean engineering. It attempts to produce innovations by following a planned process. The Waves from Space project is an example, using Satellite Remote Sensing. The Group's most recent innovation project was to develop a sonic pavement probe able to rapidly provide information on road pavement stiffness by non-destructive testing. Ocean nourishment is another innovative technology under study. Examples of papers published by the Ocean Technology Group can be found at Jones & Young (1995), at Jones & Otaegui (1997) and Lawrence (2013).
